Temekylopia

Temekylopia is an island located in the north-eastern part of the Maia world.

History
Temekylopia has existed for thousands of years, even going back to the vikings, but back then it was called "Temeky Reame" and the only language spoken was Italian. The flag was also different, but was changed in 1782 to a tri-color flag (when they also switched the name from Temeky Reame to Temekylopia), and then switched again in 1783 to the current flag. Spanish was declared an official language as late as 1739, when over 25% of the population was speaking it. The reason why over 25% of the population was speaking Spanish was because they were simply tired of Italian, and demanded a change. Currently, 40% of the population speaks Italian, 30% speaks Spanish, 15% speaks Swedish and 15% speaks other languages. It is speculated that Swedish will be added to the official languages list very shortly.

In 2007, Harrine Bravin Grybb was elected the president, with a whopping 75.85% of the vote. Harrine received extreme support all over Maia when she, in 2008, decided that if you were caught being homophobic, you would go to jail for atleast 10 years, to a maximum of 25 years. Harrine decided to step down to being a vice-president in 2011, and then fully left her position as vice-president in 2015. Since then, Harrine has been pretty inactive when it comes to politics, but in 2016, she founded her own country; Harrinia. She has a city named after her; Harrinistan, and she also has an arena named after her; the Harrinistan Arena.

When Harrine decided to step down to become the vice president, Emelie Navier was elected to take her place, and she continued to be the president until 2015, when she decided to step down due to an unknown reason. Ever since then, Emelie has pursued a singing career.

The current president is Judy Sheindlin, which has run the country since the winter of 2019. She was previously elected in 1991, and continued her reign until 2007, when she resigned. In 2019, she decided to run for presidency once more, and she proceeded to get 76.31% of the votes. She entered office on the 9th of February 2019, along with her vice-president Simone Giertz.

In 2015, Stewen Grybb made all internet service providers in Temekylopia combine into one, and made internet free of charge. However, Temekylopian citizens can upgrade their internet speed if desired.
